We left the hospital together, but I knew I wasn't ready to go back to my dorm. I wasn't sure how I was going to be sleeping there tonight. Memories from yesterday began flooding my brain and I tried to quickly forget them. Nate did his best to distract me and he was successful for the most part. We hung around the commons at first until people started coming up to me asking questions. It seemed yesterday's events were the talk of the campus. Comments ranged from sympathy to slurs. Nate chased off anyone that was rude by huffing and puffing smoke at them. "Let's go somewhere less populated" Nate offered and I agreed. He took us to a fairy trail. It was quiet, peaceful and beautiful here. We watched the fairies in the trees for a while. I made sure to send my timely texts to Charles. He didn't respond once but I sent them just in case anyway. I didn't want him to worry or race out of class thinking I was in danger. An hour had passed and Charles finally responded. 'I liked the time

I decided to take Charles' offer up and started the bath. I filled it with nice hot water and turned the jets on. Kaitlyn had packed my toiletries with my things so I thankfully didn't have to worry about that. Although it would have been nice to use Charles' things and smell like him. I sat in the tub a while just thinking and reflecting. I finally got out when my fingers were pruney and the water started to get cold.  I stared at myself in the mirror for a while barely recognizing myself. I grabbed my laptop and sat on the couch, ready to work.  I checked my emails then and began working on my own classes. The professors had sent me weeks worth of class assignments and lectures. I got through today's classes and started on tomorrow's before Charles returned. As he entered the house my stomach growled. He let out a loud la

Rays of sun peaked in through the shades waking me up early. It was about 6 o’clock in the morning, which felt too early to be awake after last night. I tried to fall back asleep, but it was pointless. Heli was restless, I hadn’t let her out since our first night on campus and with everything going on she could really use a run. I snuck out not wanting to wake Charles up. I left a little note, telling him I would be running through the fairy trail for about an hour. I told him not to worry, fully knowing that he will worry anyway. I was sure I’d get an earful from him when I returned. I won’t mind it though, in fact I kind of like it when Charles scolds me. I smiled thinking about it.I quietly ran toward the fairy trail. The sun was still rising but it was mostly bright outside. The animals in the woods were starting to wake, as the chirping of birds filled the air. It felt nice to be outside without many people. I went deep into the woods and let Heli out the moment I could. She bar

I was excited to see what Star had found. My father never did tell me much about his family. I would ask questions but he would avoid them or change the topic completely. My mother would always just tell me it was complicated. I had always been curious about the Lancaster name. Star arrived about an hour after we got home. I was dying waiting for her to get here. My excitement and anticipation we're eating away at me. Charles was starting to get annoyed at my pacing. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I had to dig up some pretty old books" Star came in plopping down 3 large books and a couple of scrolls. "I figured I would need to show you because if I just told you, well, you'd never believe me." Her words only filled me with more wonder. I stared at her impatiently waiting. She opened the darker scroll. "This scroll is the lineage of the first ever werewolf Luscious. Luscious had three children, he gave each one a different surname so that he could see which of his children would prosper

I woke up the next morning ready to go back to in person classes. When I got to class no one gave me side looks or whispered my name to one another. I sat toward the front again just in case Luke showed up. This time he did come. He stopped at the doorway staring at me for a long while before coming in and taking a seat in the back. I could feel his eyes on me throughout class, but I tried hard to pay him no mind. I kept focused on the professor and our lecture. I bolted out of there the moment the professor said we could leave. I refused to let Luke try to talk to me or corner me somewhere. Charles wasn't happy when I told him Luke was in class today. "Can't you finish that class online? I am sure Dr Garvey wouldn't mind." Charles didn't want me to be in class with Luke anymore. "I am not sure, but I don't want Luke to think that he can run me out. Plus we'll more than likely have classes together in the future. I have to deal with this now." Charles didn't like my answer, but cou
